An isotope depends on the number of neutrons in the atom. If you consider various isotopes of a particular element, the proton number does not change.
Examples:
Carbon 12: 6n, 6p
Carbon 13: 7n, 6p
Hydrogen 1 (protium): 1p
Hydrogen 2 (deuterium): 1n, 1p

What are all the elements that do not have isotopes?
There are many elements that have only one naturally occurring isotope. When you get to transuranic elements the elements all have no naturally occurring isotopes. But all elements have isotopes, they just have to be created, maybe in a nuclear reactor or particle accelerator or a supernova explosion.
Name two elements have the same mass numbers?
No elements have the same average mass, but some isotopes are the same mass as other elements, For example Carbon-13 (an isotope of carbon) has the same mass as nitrogen-13 (which is also an isotope of nitrogen).
Does being an isotope change how that element will react with other elements yes or no?
No.
Is deuterium on the periodic table of elements?
No. Deuterium is not an element in and of itself. It is an isotope of hydrogen.
If the isotope have short half lives is that mean that the isotope is in a stable condition?
No. Only radioactive elements have half-lives, the half-life is the time that it will take for half of the atoms in a sample of a radioactive isotope to decay into another element or isotope. This is a constant property of the isotope and does not depend on the sample size. Stable isotopes never decay.
What elements isotope has 6 protons and 7 neutrons?
6C13 isotope. The element is carbon
How can the researcher change one isotope into a different isotope of the same elements?
By striking it with neutrons.
What elements are in deuterium?
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen.
What are all the elements that do not have isotopes?
There are many elements that have only one naturally occurring isotope. When you get to transuranic elements the elements all have no naturally occurring isotopes. But all elements have isotopes, they just have to be created, maybe in a nuclear reactor or particle accelerator or a supernova explosion.
What is the term for elements that have different numbers of neutrons?
Isotope
Are there neutrons in man made elements?
All chemical elements (excepting the isotope 1H) contain neutrons.
How many neutrons are present in an atom of the isotope?
The number of neutrons will vary for every isotope of an atom and is not possible to generalize for all the elements.
Name two elements have the same mass numbers?
No elements have the same average mass, but some isotopes are the same mass as other elements, For example Carbon-13 (an isotope of carbon) has the same mass as nitrogen-13 (which is also an isotope of nitrogen).
Are atoms of the same elements the same?
yes. but only for a given isotope
Definition of elements that are stable?
This is an element (more exactly an isotope) which is not radioactive.
Does being an isotope change how that element will react with other elements yes or no?
No.
What is a sentence with a isotope?
Isotopes are very important part of calculations in chemistry. They are different elements of same atomic number.
